A Welcome Decinion.

The United States supreme court has
rendered decision declaring invalid the
patents on driven wells. and putting an end
to the further collection of royalties These
patents have been worked for years as a
highly profitable source of revenue to those
who held them, and as means of annoy
ance and pressure closely approaching per
secution to thousands of farmers and 9th
ers " no had driven wells The collection
of royalties was proceeded with in such
way as to lead to concerted efforts for re
sistance, yet many thousands of people, un-
able or unwilling to endure the cost and
risk Of litigation, have submitted to the ex-
tortion and large amounts have been real
lied even within few weeks. The matter
reached the supreme court in certain cases
which were taken up on appeal from the
Iowa courts. The new decision, which re
verses previous decisions of the same tri-

has been produced showing that the driven

The Right CRndidnte Will Give .
Fighting Chance in New York.


The result in New York shows that unless
II candidate is presented next year upon
whom the Republicans can unite cordially,
and for whose success they will work har-
moniOusly, and who, moreover, will com
mand the votes of part at least of the In
dependent vote that state is likely to give
its vote to the Democratic electors. It is
as sure as any future political event can
be that Mr. Cleveland will be renomnated
by the Democratic party. In spite of his
failures to live up to his professions nay,
more, in spite of his violation of his pledges
and in spite of his political support TO the
German ring in Maryland and the boodlers'
candidate in New York city, his party has
carried New York by a majority twice as
large as two years ago. But notwithstand-
ing this if the Republicans nominate the
right man there will be more than fight
ing chance in that state next year, for it
cannot but be that there are many hide
pendents in that state who will spurn the
Dead sea apples the President is Offering
them instead Of the choice fruit of his
promise. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
as the President has given way to the
spoils politicians of his party more and
more from the beginning of his admins
tration till now, this downward course will
continue till the bosses are in full posses
sion. With that fully brought about, a
clean Republican candidate would have a
good show in New York. But it will not
do TO nominate a man in whom little conf
dence is reposed. He would not profit by
any disaliection and the result would be as

We send an item this week not because
any OF our front gates have been newly
painted, neither has there been a party
among our young misses. but because we
have had an exhibition that deserves men

Powers, closed last Saturday evening with
an exhibition which showed the ability of
the pupils and painstaking of the teacher.
There was music, select readings, dialogues,
declarations and pantomime All did their
parts well from the youngest to the oldest /;
others besides the scholars entertained us
with reading and recitations. Some Young
ladies from West Brattleboro gave us some
nice music, which was much enjoyed.

cemetery, Hinsdale, upon a lot given 10 the
Asylum trustees for this purpose by the
cemetery association. The design Of the
monument is creditable to the judgment Of
the trustees, and the work. by Carrick

them. The size Of the monument is four

In addition 10 the erection Of this monu

ing the past week also re-interred the re
mains of Mrs. Marsh and those Of her hus-
band, DR.. Perley Marsh, removing them
from the old Hooker cemetery in Hinsdale,
which has been for many years neglected
and abandoned, and depositing them on
either side Of the newly erected monument,
transferring likewise the well preserved
marble headstones originally marking their
graves to the new lot This is certainly "A
handsome and fitting tribute on the part of
the trustees. TO her whose name is identified
with the erection Of the institution which
has for 80 years been established in our vii
lage under the will Of the founder.
We cannot forbear in this connection TO
add word in recognition of the wisdom
and devotion Of those of our citizens who.
as trustees, have been charged with the
maintenance and development Of the estab-
lishment since it was founded Its history
is one Of exceptionally marked success, and
those who have had the directing power
may well feel that their philnnthropic ser
vices have been rendered to good purpose.

The air is thick with rumors of impor-
tant railroad changes in Vermont. 1t is
surmised that the Boston & Maine company
has acquired, or is pretty sure to acquire,
the control of the Rutland road, and in this
event it is predicted that the Central Yer
mont will also pass into the control of the
big Massachusetts, corporation. 1t is said,
nevertheless, in opposition to this, that the
Grand Trunk company holds a controlling
interest in the Central Vermont road and
will not relinquish it. 1t is pretty certain,
however, that something is " working
which will come to the surface in due time.
